Yes, but it can be tricky. You will need to either make another larger swap somewhere in some free space, then do a mkswap command on the partition. Then put it in your /etc/fstab file. You can also resize your current partitions with some utility like parted. Make a partition adjacent to your current swap smaller, then increase the swap size. Partition Magic might do it, but parted was designed for linux. You may need to do a mkswap on the resized partition. If you just freshly installed, and are a new user, it might just be easier to do a fresh install. It's good practice... I've done it over a hundred times. :-)
